crab mentality

This is also known as crabs in the bucket, which is a metaphor describing a crab escaping from a pot. So, instead of letting one crab escape, they pull down each other in order to prevent anyone from escaping the pot. A bad mentality of Filipinos, which is due to envy they don't let others succeed.
